Just once will a team slow the ball down against Collingwood and make them defend. What’s wrong with going slower and longer into their defence when they have a hole in terms of size there?

I feel like we are all being forced to watch them play every weekend and hear all week about how they play, only to watch the games where it seems like the opposition coach has never seen their game plan before.

Slowing the game down will help them. You have to take them on, be fit enough to outrun them.

It will take a defensively minded team like St. Kilda to unlock the key to beating the Pies. 

There time will come, its all helter skelter with them.

They have shown there hand way to early in my opinion.

Might be a good thing if the pies go undefeated for half a year playing this brand of footy, it will definately take it's toll. No team is fir enough to play like this all year then in finals I don't care who you are. Would love to hear all the hype about them to see them go out in straight sets in the finals coz they are buggered.

Spot on. They will hit the wall.

Pies also go back off the mark, to get closer to where the ball is going, to help team mates and are being allowed to do it. That adds a player to a later contest.

Are you saying they prefer the 'outside 5' option vs standing the mark Mr Leg?

Or....are you saying they initially stand the mark then walk backwards away from it even if they oppo hasn't played on yet?

Wow. Richmond have kicked more Goals. 
That 2nd Quarter was one of the most dominant i have ever seen. But they couldn’t kick Goals!!

Amazing

As good as Nick Daicos is and he is good, he can not defend.

Neither can Collingwood generally. I think to beat them you have to attack hard.

Tigers came out with a refreshed attitude and kicked straight. 

Looked a contest for a while but now Colonwood are kicking goals and (8.25 to go Q3) look like they have settled.

How do you stop Collingwood?

Try and win the clearances and contested including contested in open play.  Make it an insane rugby style lock down stoppage game in the first half.

A run with on Pendles & Sidebottom.

A hard lock on N Daicos shared between two players...

The first player softens him up with close checking/heavy hitting in the first 2 quarters.  He is then subbed off for a slightly lighter tagger who can bring the heat but also great running ability going the other way to damage and make him spend  more energy defending.

They only way. 
Out run them, they will keep going, slowing the game down is pointless

Collingwood remind me of Melbourne in 21, not the style but the team buy in and pressure. I can’t believe people are still doubting them, they look like they will be better this year than last year.

Can anyone explain why the umpires wear their fluoro yellow/green tops with dark grey/black shorts to Richmond games.

Happened in the carlton round 1 game as well, yet they wear blue to North Melbourne games....

Is it really that hard to wear different colours than the competing sides??? They have access to many coloured shirts

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
